<p>[QUOTE="RepublicMetals9999, post: 2513657, member: 81541"]I would be doing you a disservice if I gave you my opinion without telling you that I do not have much expertise with error coins of this kind. My experience in the industry has been working in my company's (Republic Metals Corporation's) minting facility and we don't make dies the same way the U.S. mint does. We mint investment-grade bullion as well as proof-like finish products. When I worked in the minting department, I operated the coin presses and have experienced what we call "miss-strikes."(you probably know this term already but I like to be thorough). A miss-strike is when the press malfunctions or the operator makes an error while pressing coins, resulting in some really cool looking "masterpieces". You'd be surprised what 5 coins pressed together look like! </p><p>(Maybe that's why I work in the offices now ;p)</p><p>However, those are some serious RPMs. Love the 2016 one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
